What is a good BCD for a beginner scuba diver. I just got my certificate and need some help choosing a good bcd that isnt to much but is reliable.

This is a GREAT BCD for a beginner with ONE big exception. You will have to wear a weight belt as the Cressi Start does not have integrated weight pockets. If you want the weight pockets you will have to go to the Cressi Pro. Remember, we all wore weight belts LONG BEFORE the integrated weight BCD's came out and weight belts are simple to strap on. good luck

has anyone taken this camera diving. If so can you share your comments if it's a scuba diving camera?

In my opinion, it is the perfect bored for beginners, especially for the price. You're not going to find a better board at this price point. I learned on this one myself and it's still fantastic when I do more advanced things one its

Kat, if you are 'just' starting to workout then the BBL would be a good starting point. I'm between intermediate and advanced and didn't even break a sweat with it. So definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone BUT beginners.

I haven't dived over a year. The bobber would give you a great perspectives of you and your partner. I would try a tank mount too. Enjoy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJiXwfJuwag Best video at describing all the peripherals out there available. Then depending what you want you can search for the right setup. What is showing is the one with the structure scan. Not sure what you mean about 180 degree though? I use mine for finding wrecks for diving...works great!

Yes. Unfortunately mine leaked. I would not recommend this housing. If you choose to purchase it I would consider buying from a dive shop with a pressure tank for testing. A friend ordered this housing as well and had the same problem. First one leaked, he exchange for another which leaked as well. I don't believe any of the 3 had gone deeper then 50 ft. FYI, definitely not operator error. My friend and I dive daily and have plenty of experience with underwater housings. Good luck!

Other than the enclosure, there is a flash disperser and a short wrist strap. If you're using this for scuba diving, you'll need a better strap for attachment to a BC as the loaded enclosure is negatively buoyant.

I've been using it for scuba in Florida and it works. I didn't want one that would float so I got this one. It's not designed for water but works great. You just have to remember to let it dry in a cool dry area. The size was great for me also.

Any hard case back is ok for diving. If you have the touch screen back(for the LCD screen) it limits you to a little less than 10 ft. However this kit comes with the hard case back for the LCD screen as well so you should definitely be good to around 100 ft. Also if your going to be using it for diving I recommend you get the red lens clip on cover, it's like 7 bucks and you get much better imaging.

Hello Paula Our dive shop does not carry this brand any more as we had problems with them back when.I will say this the company headquartered in Hawaii was helpful and provided good customer service. You could look them up on the internet and they can tell you where to get one.I hope this helps

I i was you, i wouldn't be scuba diving at 125 ft or 40 meters, never mind 60 meters. You need to think about how much pressure your in.

The one I have is not waterproof. They do make waterproof models. They define waterproof as getting less than 8 drops of water in the safe when it submerged in water 2 inches over the top of the safe for 1 hour. So don't plan on taking it scuba diving.

No way, man. If you're just starting out and want a foamy, you're going to want a much longer board with better buoyancy:weight. They are expensive, so I suggest renting for a few days and get smart on the characteristics of the board, what length works for you, what's best for your wave conditions, etc.

I agree with Kent. With some practice, you'll be fine. I've owned a few of these over the years and these are as good as they get. Have fun!

I understand, Blue Diver. I'm torn because I'm traveling along the Rhine River next month and really wanted to upgrade to the FZ150, but in the end I will probably just stick with my FZ35 which does a good job.
